The purchase-to-pay (P2P) process is the process an organization goes through from the dispatch of an order, up until the settlement of the supplier invoice. It’s important for this process to go off without a hitch in order to retain customers and vendors for the long-term success of the company. Empower employees with workflow automation to ensure that all information is accurate, removing ambiguity, and safeguard against ripple effect problems downstream.

The purchase-to-pay process flow consists of a large number of smaller processes that are crucial for overall organizational success. P2P takes place across departments, involving multiple stakeholders both inside and outside the business, and the exchange of sensitive information. For this reason, the process introduces added complexity, meaning that there is more room for confusion, data loss, and human error.

Requesting goods and services from the company can be an arduous process when done manually. FireStart empowers employees to easily request necessary goods and services while allowing managers to approve requests digitally. Automatically trigger a purchase requisition workflow when a purchase is required, utilize UiPath RPA to automatically fill requisition forms and Dox42 to output forms in a variety of formats like PDF or Excel. Save teams time and streamline procurement processes with end-to-end automation.

The three-way match methodology is used by Accounts Payable (AP) to determine how fully an invoice should be paid. Automating the three-way match process with FireStart allows organizations to safeguard their assets, avoid fraudulent invoices, increasing payment transparency. Instead of manually retrieving invoices and comparing the invoice against the original Purchase Order (PO), the process can be done automatically, pulling all information from various ERP systems like SAP, reducing the finance team's overall time on manual tasks. Business rules can also be added to automatically approve invoices within a certain threshold.

Store all buyer and vendor data in one central repository to speed up invoice approvals. FireStart empower you to process purchase-to-pay requests quickly by conveniently storing all data in one centralized place, making it easier for all stakeholders in the process to locate information, fill invoices, and approve requests. Buyers can also easily check the status of shipments, reducing time spent on manual tasks.

Automate the entire purchase-to-pay process end-to-end to assist your organization in maintaining a favorable company image, keeping vendors on-side, and minimizing potential errors that could cost the organization. FireStart helps streamline the P2P process, ensuring that data is kept secure and all invoices are managed within a reasonable timeframe. Internal approval loops are shortened with digital approval in seconds, and vendor loops can be managed quickly and efficiently, eliminating long, complicated email chains.

Integrate FireStart with existing procurement systems including ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft applications such as Excel and Outlook, to send, receive, and process invoices digitally without confusion. Purchase-to-pay process improvement is essential for long-term scaling, ensuring quality, proper cash flow, and compliance.

Procurement management is the process of acquiring all the goods your company needs. Large-scale purchasing decisions are critical for both businesses and vendors, especially since a business’ resource planning and bottom line depend on it. A streamlined and automated procurement management process helps businesses to better prepare and process demand, ensuring a data-driven decision-making approach that isn’t hindered by paper stacks and repetitive, time-intensive tasks.

One of the major concerns for businesses is that procurement teams spend most of their time on administrative tasks, leaving far less time to focus on purchasing goods and services that help the organization reach its goals. Ineffective processes mean teams spend the majority of their time manually filling out purchase orders (POs), creating requests for quotes (RFQs) and requests for proposals (RFPs), while also following up on receipts and invoices with various stakeholders. A lack of resources and time means procurement teams are unable to do the tasks that will boost the organization’s bottom line, like investing in goods and services at a competitive cost to quality ratio. Down the line, this hinders the overall functioning of the company.

Procurement requisitions from within the company can easily become lost in email chains or paper printouts that float from desk to desk. FireStart remedies this problem with built-in request forms within the larger procurement workflow. Anyone can easily request resources needed, with a faster approval process, and up-to-date digital record keeping. Store all past requests automatically in the central repository, for full transparency to stay compliant and avoid fraud.

Create procurement documents like purchase orders (POs) in seconds. FireStart helps teams to establish best practice purchase orders with end-to-end procurement automation solutions. With our technology partner, Dox42, it’s easy to create a standardized purchase order template with the drag and drop function. Then, FireStart can autofill the document and send it to the relevant stakeholders all within seconds. Purchase orders can be triggered to generate automatically when a purchase request comes in, streamlining the entire workflow end-to-end.

Boost transparency throughout the entire procurement automation process with smart integrations. FireStart allows you to easily integrate ERP systems like SAP, helping procurement managers to accurately plan resources without needing to stitch together standalone components. Speed up procurement time and ensure consistency and visibility with procurement automation software.

Reduce repetitive task overload within procurement teams by automating administrative tasks. FireStart’s procurement automation solution helps organizations accomplish the unique philosophy of procurement management – to ultimately procure the right items and services at the right price from the right vendor, in order for the organization to thrive. By redirecting procurement resources away from manual tasks like filling in purchase orders or chasing approvals for requisitions, the procurement team has more time to strategically plan and enhance relationships with vendors.

Integrate FireStart with existing procurement systems including ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft applications such as Excel and Outlook, to manage all company resources with one single source of truth. Mitigate potential threats to the business that comes from an unpredictable economy, and enhance collaboration down the line leading to faster turnaround cycles, even in times of supply chain disruption.

The importance of contract management spans across departments within organizations. From signing customers to invoicing clients, contract management is essential for the smooth running of the business, remaining compliant, and making more informed purchasing decisions. With automation, teams can work collaboratively across departments, meaning error-free contract creation and quick lead times.

Creating, reviewing, negotiating, and signing contracts is a time-consuming and costly endeavor. In many organizations, contracts are still reviewed manually, which takes much-needed resources from the legal department. Even when contracts are managed externally, this can incur extra costs and prolong the cycle time. Managing contracts through so many different hands can also create inaccuracies, leading to more risk in the business process.

Contract creation can be a lengthy process. From template design to filling in customer data, hours can be spent creating contracts for important deals. FireStart enables your teams to generate contracts automatically with our technology partner, Dox 42. Use workflow automation to easily design contract templates, automatically fill client data, and send the contract to client inboxes instantly. Save your team hours without human error and compliance risks.

Legal teams are often involved in lengthy contract workflows to ensure compliance. This manual process can take extra, unaccounted for time to ensure every detail is correct. With automation, legal approval is no longer an extra step. Empower teams to send contracts through to legal teams automatically, accelerating sign-off time. Teams can now maintain governance across the whole contract management process, including managing external legal proceedings. This process also makes simple contract renewals faster than ever before.

The contract signing process can turn into a hurdle, causing a delay between negotiations and signing. FireStart reduces cycle times by storing all documents and sensitive client information in one safe central repository. With our technology partner, Dox42, documents can be signed electronically, with everything stored within a streamlined workflow. Organizations can now swiftly move from negotiations to a signed deal without losing information or security risks.
